Young Men Who Have Sexually Abused: A Case Study Guide

Young men who sexually abuse is a subject of increasing concern
amongst professionals.

This important volume explores the current theoretical and
practice issues involved in working therapeutically with young men
who have sexually abused. Linking theory to practice, Andrew

committed varying acts of inappropriate or harmful sexual
behaviours, and analyses the therapeutic interventions provided for
each.

Key features of this accessible guide include:

A clear, practical framework for assessing whether or not a
child’s sexual behaviour is a problem.

Full assessment schedule for determining the risks and needs of
young men who have sexually abused.

Discussion of family assessment and support.

practitioners, academics and students in social work, social care,
psychology and residential childcare.
